How to combine images into one PDF for free
Forms, landlords, schools and employers often ask for documents as one PDF. If what you have is a handful of phone photos or screenshots, you can turn them into a single PDF in under a minute.
Step by step
- Open the File Editor. Choose the Images → PDF task.
- Add your images. Select all the photos or screenshots you want in the PDF.
- Add them in page order. Each image becomes a page, so select them in the order you want them to appear.
- Download the PDF. Save it and attach it to your email or upload form.
Tips for clean-looking scans
Photograph documents on a plain, dark surface in good daylight and hold the phone straight above the page. If a photo comes out crooked, straighten and crop it first in Postscript's Photo Editor, then add it to the PDF.
Need to edit the PDF afterwards?
Postscript Pro adds PDF tools for merging several PDFs, splitting out pages, deleting pages, rotating pages and adding page numbers.
Keep the file size down
Phone photos are large, so a PDF of ten of them can easily pass 20 MB. If you need to email it, shrink the photos first with the free Resize/compress image task (around 1600 px wide is plenty for a readable document page), then make the PDF.
Reading-friendly scans
Crop out the table or floor around each page and make sure the text is level. A clean, cropped photo is much easier for the person receiving it to read and print.
Questions
Is it free?
Yes. Images → PDF is free, with no watermark.
Can I do this on my phone?
Yes. Open Postscript in your phone's browser and pick the photos straight from your camera roll.
What image types can I use?
Common formats such as JPG, PNG and WebP. Convert iPhone HEIC photos to JPG first with the HEIC task.
Will the person receiving it be able to search the text?
No. The pages are images, so the text isn't selectable or searchable.
